Regarding the most recent shootings and deaths at Ft. Hood,
Texas:
First off: I hereby wish to pass
along my sympathies and condolences to the families as well as the communities affected
by this tragedy (including those of the previous tragedy, a few years back).
May the innocent rest in peace.
President Obama’s speech/eulogy at Ft. Hood today:
Forgive me if this is too soon:
For our own soldiers to be intentionally killed by one of
our own, on one of our own Army bases, on our own soil (again no less), is a
disgrace!! In my opinion the following
is also certainly worth noting: Military
bases probably have the strictest gun-control/anti-gun rules in the whole nation! If the Federal government can not successfully
enforce the most strict anti-gun laws on its own property, how could they ever
hope to do so for the entire nation? Is
this what the nation can anticipate when the anti-gun forces have their way and
ban all firearms from the law-abiding citizenry: that only the violent creeps will have guns
and everyone else will merely be at the mercy of the lawless and armed violent
creeps? Again, to be clear, lawless
violent creeps care not of any anti-gun legislation or laws!!! The anti-gun/gun control folks obviously
consider the average law-abiding American to be nothing but a fool or buffoon; otherwise, the anti-gun folks would not hold such a position. (See: “The
Innocent Victims Deserve a Vote! I agree. But...” http://adamvernontrotter.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-innocent-victims-deserve-vote-i.html
)
To return to the tragedy at hand:
The level of incompetence displayed by this tragedy is stunning,
in my opinion. Who is/was responsible to make sure something like this
did not happen again? Was there any such
person at all in such a role, seeing how recent history has shown the need for
such leadership? How many of our tax
dollars did that person(s) receive? Without
any extenuating circumstances that could be invoked to allow for that officials’
defense, he/she/they should have to pay back the tax payers any salaries, and
further, be charged with a crime for dereliction of duty and/or gross
incompetence!
